What did you find homophobic? I'm not trying to take a side here. I'm just curious what it was about the article that offended you.
I could see how it might be perceived as slightly insensitive. But I doubt that it was intentional. Sometimes anti-capitalists who are not gay, or at least not involved in the gay rights movement or as aware of such issues, make these sorts of mistakes.
As an anti-capitalist who is a straight white male, this is something that I've had to learn to deal with on a lot of different levels... and I'm continuing to struggle with it.
So... if you expanded on your critique, I think it might actually be beneficial to the author, and others like myself.
Otherwise it just sounds like a lot of hot air.
